New YorI.'s especial Sessions" .Audisns

Now ORtthnA D8soABno sAa<&@8t@@1@
The pleasure of being witness took me
to the court of special sessions not long
ago. 1t was merry morning. The jaH
yard, where q murderer had just been
hanged, was full Of sunlight and playful
breezes. The jail pigeons strutted and
cooed in the sun. The temple OF justice
was cool and gray, as a temple should be,
but the audience was clammy and uncom-
Portable, and even the judges had flush
upon their faces IL seemed almost as II
some phantom from the galiows outside
was in the place, and the peculiar atnos-
phere that the court possesses had a cem-
etery SAVIOR TO the nostrils--or at least TO
mine.
Somebody ought to paint a picture Of o
special sessions audience. The benches
present q curious variety Of characters
that would furnish an artist with ample
material. / do not suppose any one would
want to buy the picture when IL was done,
but few would pass It by without halt.
The brutal, cunning or debased faces OF
the average lockers ON attend the proceed
ings at the bar with the same eager, crav-
ing fntentness as one may imagine Of the
audience at a combat In the arena OF old
Rome. IL is an act Of their ezn lives to
them, no doubt, and rene knows who
among them win next be called upon the
stage.
From time 10 time, on the morning I
write of, when the door Of the court room
would open, you could hear the whining
Of a dog. When went out q stalwart
young tough was standing in the deep
portica with a little white bull terrier in
a chain. As ! pushed the door open

Governor Ross thinks that the pro-
hibition question in Texas is settled.
The New York Sun does not agree
with him. In o recent number IL
says: "Unless the Texas Prohibi-
tionists are different from the Prohi-
bitionists of the North, they will not
give up the fight because Of q single
defeat. Great as is the majority
against them, they have cast o great
vote, and they have called out every
resource of their adversaries. They
seem to have on their side q large
proportion of the preachers, and the
women, no mean allies, however viru-
lent may be the political contests in
which take part. Governor Ross will
probably find that prohibition in
Texas has been scotched, not killed"

Letter fram Dallas.

EDITOR FREE PREss:-Thinking q
few lines from this, the metropolis of
north Texas, might be of some inter
est to your readers, I accordingly pen
them, but in the dreaded fear of the
''waste basket"
Dallas is undoubtedly the livliest
city, at this time at least, in Texas,
and is growing at an astonishing rate.
The State Fair and Exposition, which
is to be held here September Goth to
November 5th, will attract thousands
of people to the city, and will be a
sight we'll worth seeing. From pres
ent indications it will be the most
successful State Fair ever held in
Texas. Applications are being re-
ceived from all over the country for
space for exhibiting purposes.
The ex- Confederate reunion, which
was held here at the Exposition
grounds the past week, brought many
visitors and ex Confederates to the
city. 1t really did one good to see
the old veterans meet and tell their
experiences and stories Of the war.
They went away loud in their praise
of Dallas hospitality.
This vicinity was visited today
with a most copious and welcome
rain. 1t was sorely needed, for the
dust had about taken possession OF
the town.
A most interesting letter appears
in this weeks issue of the Texas
Christian Advocate, from the pen OF
Rev. J. A. Thomas. of your city, on
the New York Chautauqpa. Glad to
see that the Texas Chautaqua" is
marching on.
The old FREE PRESS was an instru-
ment for good in the heated prohibi-
ton campaign just ended. 1t is an
honor to the town. Success to the
FREss PRESS! It is always on the
right side! The good people tried
hard to hurl the whisky demon from
their midst, but the 'boodlers were
too many. =.
Miss Pearl Hardy, the fair daught
er of your worthy mayor, has been
visiting in Dallas.
The anti demonstration here on
the 7th inst, like all similar ones in
other places, did injury to their
cause. 1t was a fact worthy OF note
that two-thirds of those who parti-
cipated in the torchlight procession
were negroes.
You will probably hear from me at
Galveston, where I go on the 9th.

TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized by Geo. r,
ROweIl & Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

AOvertlsink mCutums
Tho well known advertising agency of
Geo. P. P.Rowell q Co., of New York City, have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
as TO the matter of newspaper circulation.
In tho regular issues of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently. however, they have issued con-
densed list. II gives only tho bcst newspa-
pers as advertising mediums, and hence is
practically better, because more convenient
than their larger Directory. Four-fifths OF
the newspapers of the United States are
practically "counted out" by intelligent ad-
vertisers, who only want to know the best.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface well say:
1T sifts the wheat from the chaf. 1t d.
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion of that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
fit which they possess. It takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
tho FREE Press is given by this book lsee
page 1857 as the advertising medium of San
Marcos and Hays county, 1t being tie only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.
